cost of past interventions as reason enough not to get involved in syria. let's get all the information and after we've gotten all the information let's look at our military interventions in the past i suggest to you that there is not a military intervention in my life that has been warranted and hasn't resulted in consequences that. are unpredictable from the start these milla to our military interventions have resulted in hundreds of millions of enemies to this country but but for military interventions i don't think would otherwise exist you said seventy thousand people have been killed when you look at our past military interventions our military interventions resulted in another hundred thousand losing their lives but somehow that's justified because it's on the side of good it's on the side of the united states and i'm being facetious being facetious our military interventions don't end up improving these situations

2:08 am
enormous pressure on on israel either through sanctions or with drawing or lift or lifting the trade agreement which also has a human rights clause of the new israel we know has nuclear weapons and has the land based system to deliver them and could have a sea based system any country in the region that has a nuclear power system turkey egypt saudi arabia or could develop their own nuclear weapons if they wish to clearly the danger now is very nuclear arms race in the middle east with all the terrible consequences that that could bring about if ever they should be used some powers are in no hurry to stop israel's alleged nuclear program as they encouraged it from the outset as ramsey rode out here of palestine chronicle dot com. if israel was going to listen they would have listened decades ago but again this rose dealing with the situation there is i would say an

a raging death crisis but brossel says brier times are a hand for you are predicting long why growth next year shortly and we hear from experts what's behind his optimism. so-called muslim patrols are again active in london with vigilantes trying to impose islamic ideals on the local population and one all arrests may have tampered the activist zeal they continued to promote their views and some of which are quite radical. muslim leaders fear their actions could discredit the whole community as artists are first now reports. but that isn't misunderstood on taste find someplace cereal or an unsuspecting members of the public first hit the headlines there was an outcry in person well since then some arrests have been made because r.t.d. stoned out self-titled most of the patrols are still in operation oh cool themselves the shari'a project. they make a point of differentiating themselves from the more hardline muslim patrol his
2:11 am
video is cool such anger everything with scenes like this we almost. got to read our work. longer a little bit calmer and really focus on. this patrol they say that whilst they share many of the same keys as the other patrols they've never employed the same course of tactics. from the back. i mean looking at those patrols i can say that is commendable that have come out and actually decided to take some kind of action against you know these things taking place in. their actual actions and i think we still have. to be thinking obviously there is always a better way to do things my approach as a muslim is to. rather if i see into an action
2:12 am
a perhaps more appropriate always advise me to say what is better than many in the mainstream islam community these patrols are close to concerned with if it is ensuring widespread media coverage many muslim leaders have condemned their actions is wrong and i'm representing. these individuals a fringe minority you know they don't represent the muslim community there's two point seven million muslims in the case and they you know they would never. condone this type of behavior the greeks were very clear to us that they have peaceful intentions. some of the members are alleged to be involved with the more extreme patrols while members served three and a half years in prison on charges of terrorist fund raising and fighting terrorism a vis the us and it didn't take him long to take his mo hardline he's known they fight it all the man can go to hell i believe so because i believe those who disbelieve in the oneness of god did find this vision to be the end point anyway
2:13 am
and those laws that they felt would go with them would for how to roll back so into the empire i have no respect for visual whatsoever i asked the leader of the sharia project whether he was concerned by statements like that i think you know if you take it from the passive approach that i don't think you fix the country and these are great but you were doing no shouting and protesting your food before you started for to sheree and richard i think that you something don't really catch the thief and field day to day with and many base amongst the muslim and the white british community there are worries not just about these actions but about the potential repercussions the relatively small minority could have on a much larger scale so. london. well the leader of house block has hinted that the lebanon based militant group could intervene in the syrian conflict on the side of the government this comes after two massive car

blasts in the space of two days in central damascus claiming the lives of at least twenty people the latest ripped through a bustling square near a former interior ministry building on his attack targeted the syrian prime minister who survived but one of his bodyguards was killed karl shero a blogger on the middle east saying serious political opposition has failed to distance itself from the extremist rebels that are terrorizing the population you know that is a modern responsibility and syrian opposition leader represents. you know the other factions on the ground in syria then it should take this most of it just went for so. those are just ideas to try to distance itself from it's not just happen mr which hasn't done so far i think to this kind of confusion so i fear you won or lost to the west and the u.s. in particular kind of the there's of the a syrian opposition the broad i've not really been clear enough not they connect condemned car bombings and similar

happened as the e.u. released new unemployment figures revealing that joblessness in march was at an all time high this by bad news across the block the european commission is actually predicting growth for the monetary union next year but some experts say that's on realistic probably what the european commission is about predicting economic growth forecast and you could probably run on the back of a postage stamp to be honest with you i think that there's a very good prospect of the european will be growing at any point in the future what i would say is that. even if you level the playing field at the moment you took away all the day all the problems in europe physics it's extremely difficult to see how it would grow going forward because in order to compete with the chinese and the indians and the canadians and the struggle against what europe needs is to be regulated small kids and to cut the bureaucracy and the red tape and the on elected officials that basically run it what europe is in fact doing at the moment
2:21 am
is the exact opposite it hasn't even begun to tackle its problems yet in fact while i would argue is it's actually doing exactly the wrong thing in european vision has been falling apart for years but unfortunately people who run europe have still got that vision and i still hell bent on pursuing that vision. you know i think that too arrogant to start to have doubts at this stage and you know that is very very worrying for europe going forward as well. u.s. president barack obama has finally broken his silence over the ongoing hunger strike at the guantanamo bay prison renewing calls to shut down the facility he called the camp quote a problem that is only going to fester this statement came after extra medical staff arrived at the prison to treat at least one hundred inmates or refusing food and stone from the household and coalition to stop the war thanks washington is just trying to reduce its reputational damage. i think the u.s. authorities are in damage control mode now because they know that with every
